The cosplayers of Winter WonFes 2015 show that it"s not just about the figures

The Wonder Festival, or WonFes as it is best known as, is considered Japan’s biggest and most important bi-annual figure event. Clearly, the figures and garage kits are the stars of the event, however, one must not forget that one of the event’s highlights are also the cosplays. This year’s Winter edition is no different

Cosplayers have gathered in Makuhari Messe once again for WonFes, and it is clear that Kantai Collection is going strong… VERY STRONG

Every WonFes, there are also official booth cosplayers who hand out anime-themed paper bags, flyers, fans, brochures, booklets, and others. Here are some of the ones who were spotted during the event.
